This audiobook is incredible; I enjoyed it from the first chapter to the last. Couch and Gladorisi do an excellent job of writing. The story is very well conceived, flows well and is very believable. Steven Weber does a very good job of narration.After reading a previous review, I had concerns this book might be a 'little mushy,' it isn't! It's about Navy Seals and their heroic wives who never seem to get the credit they deserve for their sacrifices while their husbands are deployed to keep us safe.I will warn you, this is a great book worth every minute of listening. In fact, you will probably be wishing it were longer - I would rate it a 10 if I could,,,but I hated the way it ends.

Wow~ I would have to say yes, but this is one very intense story...at least for me it was. Yes, I am a girl...yeah, girls are a little more emotional, but even manly men are allowed to get teary eyed over the conclusion of this one.

What did you like best about this story?

What can I say, it's an intriguing & compeling story. The writing & narraration is so well done that you feel like you are right there living it or that you are at least being told the story by someone who actually experienced a real situation. It doesn't really have that

Which character – as performed by Steven Weber – was your favorite?

The narration was so amazing, but I have to say... holy moly, there is one scene with the Dr. when she(he) says

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I had planned to, but I just couldn't do it....it was just too intense. I had to take 2 seperate breaks which is very unlike me to be honest. I usually like to just plow through from start to finish.... however, it is now 4:30 a.m. because once I got back into it I couldn't turn it off because it got so intense. Then, I had to write this review while it was still fresh in my thoughts....not that I will be forgetting this one any time soon.

Any additional comments?

This story is about the ugly up-close and personal side of terrorism. But it is truely about bravery, patriotism, honor, loyalty, and the ultimate sacrifice. I highly recommend this audiobook~Happy listening~

This book took me by surprise. The content, the pacing, the performance. All first rate.

I've been a Tom Clancy fan for years, but have hesitated in reading co-authored titles. In my experience, most are not on par with Clancy's solo work. So, when I first saw this book, on which Clancy is not a co-author, I was very skeptical. Clancy lends his name to it to promote it.

In reading so many favorable reviews, I took a chance. Glad I did. Couldn't stop listening.

Where does Tom Clancy Presents: Act of Valor rank among all the audiobooks you???ve listened to so far?

I am amazed at the amount of technical knowledge about the military and equipment used by the military that Clancy comes up with. I have asked some supposed experts that say he knows what he is talking about.He knows how to weave this knowledge into a believeable story.

What made the experience of listening to Tom Clancy Presents: Act of Valor the most enjoyable?

The suspense, the real drama, the detail and the love story between the main character and his wife. The bravery of America's soldiers who are willing to lay their life down so all Americans can live free and be critical of American millitary. The reader of the book brings this story to life: especially the funeral of the fallen soldier. I was listening to the last portion of the story while shopping for groceries and could not help but cry. I had to explain to people I was O.K. but listening to a great book.This story is what makes America the best country in this world.

What did you like best about this story?

The bravery of America's soldiers, the honor they bring to our country and the fact that the millitary men and woman go beyond their duties to keep our country safe is stunning to those of us who live our lives in relative safety and warmth of our homes.

What does Steven Weber bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Steve Weber brings a realm of reality and emotions to the story. He brings the book to life.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed and cried. I thought the light hearted banter among the soldiers was funny, I also could envision the scene where they stole the truck in Africa and then tried to explain the

Any additional comments?

The book and the story was so inspiring. My small troubles of everyday life seem so small compared to one man giving up his life for his fellow soldiers and the freedom that we so much enjoy in America.

Would you consider the audio edition of Tom Clancy Presents: Act of Valor to be better than the print version?

I spend a great deal of time in my car and have very little time to read the book. So I would say yes.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The plot was predictable in a good way, but the action was non stop.Good guys win, bad guys lose. At times I found myself driving slower to listen to a little more. Edge of my seat no but, always wanting more.

Have you listened to any of Steven Weber’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Couldn't say but, I would love to listen to him again.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

YES, as a man and an Amercian.

Any additional comments?

It is simple to to bad mouth Amercia, Why because we care. We fight the worlds battles with little help or understanding. Kill Bin Landen and half the world wants to kill all Americans and the other half second guesses every move. What other country would allow you to do that.The men of the Seals do missions that few could or would do and should be respected and honored in every way posible.
